The Jonker-Volgenant algorithm is much faster than the famous Hungarian algorithm for the Linear Assignment Problem (LAP). This Matlab implementation is modified from the original C++ code made by Roy Jonker, one of the inventors of the algorithm. It is about 10 times faster than the munkres code (v2.2) of the author. It can solve a 1000 x 1000 problem in about 3 seconds in a normal Intel Centrino processor.

V1.1 returns the dual variables and the reduced cost matrix as well.
V1.2 can deal with nonsquare assignment problems.
V2.0 is faster for problems with a large range of costs.
V2.1 includes an option to change the cost resolution to improve performance for some problems.
v2.2 removes a small bug to avoid NAN for 1x1 case.
v2.3 removes a small bug to handle a cost matrix with all inf's.
v2.4 fixes a bug associated with resolution to address the known problem of the algorithm.
v3.0 fixes a bug introduced since v2.0.
